AKA had previously mentioned in an interview how much he admired Nasty C’s talent. Having the chance to collaborate on this new single was as probably the right lead in the direction as the two rappers mesh perfectly well together, delivering what might be considered one of this year’s new top favorite summer bangers.
Coming related from AKA’s previous songs like “Super Soft”, “Energy”, “Starsigns” or “Composure”, this one’s different. And based on the collaboration one would probably think it to be as a typical Hip-Hop jam. AKA offers us a sweet, but natural tone with his vibe and enlightens the mood on an upbeat instrumental with his charisma.
Able to adapt quickly to any genre the rapper taps back into his original kick-off vibes and leaves us with a cheerful and dance along chime. On the other hand… Nasty C stays consistent, and within his tempo delivers a killer flow that carries along with the beat. The new song, therefore, sets tone and shows an insightful build-up of sounds on what we can expect from AKA’s new forthcoming album “Mass Country”.
Accompanying the song is also a music video. Directed by Nate Thomas shows a cameo of Nadia Nakai and Robot Boii doing an opening of the video on the set of South Africa’s popular music and dance show ‘Jika Majika’, which on whole serves as a nice touch and compliments the song.
